This was after pretty good views of flighty Bearded Tit along the East bank. I only managed a female.....
Nice views of a Curlew Sandpiper.....
A juvenile Spoonbill was also showing well!
A Shore Lark finally had the decency to add me to the long list of birders who had been enjoying the scene! The single bird seen is likely to be a female? The head markings were nowhere near as bright and striking as birds I’ve seen in the past. Nevertheless, a long overdue bird for the weekend and year list!
A small line of Geese flying overhead also caught my eye and White-fronted Goose was added too!
There were few other ‘moment’s and I certainly won’t treasure the 45 minutes finale to the day spent staring at a hedge at Kelling where a Barred Warbler refused to break cover!
The only birds showing well here were...... a Chiffchaff on the walk down which was very obliging......
And a Goldcrest (lots of them!) in the evening glow.
Oh well, some steady birding today but no rarities! Tomorrows another day....
